Question

VAT payment cover transactions not calculated by QBO transactions

I started using QBO April 2019, but could not start my VAT period on QBO until May 2019. Therefore a payment made from my business account covers VAT transactions off-book (Not on QBO) and one single month (April on QBO). What account should I post payment to, as I am assuming if I post to the VAT control account it will net of payments which have not yet been submitted to HMRC. Am I supposed to split the payments for the limited transactions on for April?. Apologies I am very new to QBO and general accounting principles. Thanks in advance

Welcome and thanks for being part of the QuickBooks family, MakLow.


Creating an expense and posting it to the VAT Suspense account can help track the tax payment in your account.


The process can easily be done. I'm here to walk you through the steps.

 

  1. Sign in first to your company and go to the Plus icon at the top to see the Expenses tab.
  2. Select it to open the Expense page.
  3. Pick the payee by clicking the drop-down and choose where to post the payment by entering it in the Payment account field.
  4. Input the correct date in the Payment date field, then select the payment method.
  5. Under Category, choose the Vat Suspense account and enter the tax payment in the Amount field.
  6. Fill in the remaining fields.
  7. Click on Save.


With these steps, your April 2019 tax return is now recorded in QBO.
